HB805

Montana HB805 revises workers' compensation laws, including eligibility for benefits and coverage for certain volunteers and employers.

Montana HB805 revises workers' compensation laws by amending definitions and eligibility criteria. Volunteer emergency care providers can now be eligible for benefits at an assumed wage. Employers can elect to cover certain members of partnerships, sole proprietorships, or limited liability companies. Insurers must deny claims from illegal aliens and those who leave the U.S. while a claim is ongoing. The bill also specifies that certain employees, such as those in vocational training or performing community service, are covered under specific conditions.
